Genre(s): Progressive Rock
Timespan: 1976 - 2004
Suggested by: Trollheart
Notes: I know I said I would do either the group or the solo artiste, not both, but since Alan Parsons was the APP, I'm breaking the rule in his case. His solo work basically involved most if not all of the bandmembers from the APP anyway, so they may as well have been APP albums.

Notes: From 2003 to 2008 Rea released albums based on blues classics, and formed an imaginary band for one of them, the Hofner Bluenotes. I don't consider these really part of his discography, and some of them are three or more Cds long, so I won't be including them when I review his discog.
